Necromancer bag of reagents, comes with the RunUO 1.0 RC0 release.

Necromancer Npcs, will need the following skills for best usage of AI:

Thanks:

My thanks for the collaboration and help for developing this customised AI go to:

Darklon, and Admin Maeve from Maeve's Garden.

SkyMonkey, Sidsid & GoldDraco13 from RunUo Forums for the Sample npc, and the Full Necromancer Spellbook Generation Code.

Enjoy.

Installation Instructions:

To install proceed as follows:

On the file BaseAI.cs:

Under line 26, insert the following:

AI_Necro

Under line 250, insert the following:

SkillName.Necromancy

On BaseCreature.cs:

Under line 1616, insert the following:

/////////////////NECROAI//////////////
case AIType.AI_Necro:
m_AI = new NecroAI(this);
break;
/////////////////NECROAI//////////////

Final steps:

After this is done, put the NecroAi.cs file into your folder:

Scripts/Engines/AI/AI

Start your server after installing, normally.

More info on use:

To use on npcs, declare the AI normally like for any other AI:

public NpcName() : base( AIType.AI_Necro, FightMode.Closest, 10, 1, 0.2, 0.4 )

Update to downloads( 05/20/2004 ):

Released Single pack with all files & one bonus NPC.

Pack inludes:

Pre-modified BaseAI & BaseCreature scripts for a easier installation.

Sample Npc, demonstrating useage of AI, how to include necro reagents, and how to include in loot a full necromancer spellbook (Sample Necromancer, by SkyMonkey ).

Revised versions of the base lich npc, that now use the Necromancer AI ( Revised Lich Npcs, by GoldDraco13 ).

Bonus Custom NPC - Boss type toughness - Grim Reaper.

Installation directories:

To use these files you must not have previously edited them to add anything, as they will overwrite completely you old ones. They contain only the modification for the use of this AI script, and have been tested on a base, clean installation of RunUO 1.0 RC0.

These files should be extracted to:

Scripts/Engines/AI/AI - for BaseAI.cs

and

Scripts/Engines/AI/Creatures - for BaseCreature.cs

The NPC files should be extracted to:

Scripts/Custom/Npc - for SampleNecromancer.cs

Scripts/Custom/Npc - for GrimReaper.cs

and for GoldDraco13's updated lich pack:

Scripts/Mobiles/Monsters/Humanoid/Magic - for the AncientLich.cs, Lich.cs and LichLord.cs

After these files are installed, follow the remainder of instructions to call upon the AI, as explained above, or read through the code of the official sample npc.

For more advanced examples, download GoldDraco13's update to the base distribution lich npc files, also included in the distribution files.

For advanced npc sample also see the bonus custom npc included, named GrimReaper.cs

File includes installation instructions as posted here.

and Baal.cs :

Why I'am having that error help me..

The errors you report here, arent related to the script itself.

You have 2 errors here, one belongs to your NPC script and is caused directly by it ( I tested it on my test server where I develop my scripts and I get the same lines reporting error that you show here for your NPC in the error log, but no errors related to the AI engines ).

The second error is a installation mistake.

Under line 26 of the file you must include the code I wrote. It should look like this in your file:

Code:

		AI_Thief,
		AI_Necro
	}

The error about lines 26 & 27 says you are missing the "}" as show in this code I just typed.

The error on lines 250 and forward is because u are missing again a "}" and a ";".

Your file after modifying to my instructions should look like this:

Code:

				SkillName.Meditation,
				SkillName.Necromancy
			};

In case you have altered either the BaseAI.cs or included other custom AI, I would need to see your BaseAI.cs file to see whats colliding with my script.

Right now though, the only thing wrong is a bad installation, and a bugged npc script. You are missing a "(" in one of the lines, etc...

If you want, and have not touched the BaseAI.cs file or the BaseCreature.cs files that come with the RunUO 1.0 RC0 base distro installation, I have uploaded the edited versions that go along with my script, for a easier installation of this AI, in the main post of the script.

Install these in their proper folders, and allow them to overwrite your existing ones.

These scripts should be extracted from the zip file into your:

Scripts/Engines/AI/AI - for BaseAI.cs file

and

Scripts/Engines/AI/Creature - for BaseCreature.cs file

A warning about the following procedure of overwritting original distribution files:

Before overwritting or deleting your old files you must make sure you have backup copies of your original files.

Do not use these files I just uploaded if your RunUO Server is not RunUO 1.0 RC0, or if you have these files customised with other AI scripts or changes.

Use these only if you have not changed the base distribution ones.

Droven · May 12, 2004

I hadn't change them that they are the same as the Runuo 1.0 installition, I'll try it again, then post what will happen..

hudel · May 12, 2004

The Server starts fine by me. I have not testet the AI itself by a script, but I think it will work. Thanks for sharing.
Hmm,... could you maybe post one EvilNecro so that I can see how you handle the Necroregs? I have no NecroBag.

The useage on a npc is simple:

First set the skills needed to use necromancy, they are the same a player needs to work on to be a GM necromancer.

The Skills, as per OSI standard are:

Necromancy

Spirit Speak

Poisoning

The code would look like this:

Code:

// 100.0 is GM level tweak the number to more or less skill
// depending on how hard u want the npc to be.

SetSkill( SkillName.SpiritSpeak, 100.0 ); 
SetSkill( SkillName.Necromancy, 100.0 );
SetSkill( SkillName.Poisoning, 100.0 );

Now add the necromancer reagents:

The code would look like so:

Code:

PackNecroReg( 50, 100 );// Creates 10 to 20 of each necro reagent.

The rest of the npc code is exactly like any plain npc you can make.

Remember that you need a full necromancer spellbook as well for best results. I will not post the book's script as it is not mine, I didnt make the full spellbook script, and obviously it isnt right to post other people's work without their consent.

SkyMonkey · May 12, 2004

I have one problem with you not posting the 'full spellbook script'.

I cant find it!

Could you atleast post a LINK to the thread it's in?

its not in one. just create a new script with an item based on the necromancerspellbook class and set this.content=ulong.maxvalue;

Don't need to make s script for a Full necro spell book:

Just add this to the necro creature script:

PackItem( new NecromancerSpellbook( (UInt64)0xFFFF ) );

Hope this helps

Just a note:

Spellbooks are nubed on my shard so this bad boy doesn't drop a full necrobook every time it dies. Best to adjust accordingly (or alteast be aware that a player is going to get a FULL Necro book every time he/she kills one of these!)

Droven · May 13, 2004

Thanks a lot I did this and it's running now w/o baal.cs

Final Realms · May 13, 2004

Kudos to SidSid, SkyMonkey & GoldDraco

Thnxs for posting this NPC, and extra bit of info on the Necrospellbook, it makes things a lot easier for other people to use my script thanks to your supperb imput.

If you guys dont mind Id like to package all that with the Necro AI download.

Once again Kudos to u guys and thnxs

hudel · May 13, 2004

Thanks for sharing the NPC-Script and the info abaout the Spellbook

SkyMonkey · May 13, 2004

Hey no worries!

Package away. It's all cool

Final Realms · May 14, 2004

Updated downloads on main post, to include Skymonkey's Necromancer as the Sample Necromancer for this script.

This Npc illustrates use of the script on NPC, showing both skill use, how to add the necromancer reagents & how to create the full necromancer spellbook.

Thanks again to SkyMonkey, Sidsid & GoldDraco13.

GoldDraco13 · May 14, 2004

You and anyone in this community are allowed to copy/paste/change/edit or use my scripts at will

P.S. I took the liberty to change the distro lich/lich lord and ancient lich lord scripts to necro AI as they should have been in the first place(OSI Bad) =]
